I cant figure out why, but my vim74 on Windows 8 wont maximize. In fact it is very limited to a certain size.
This is the max size and I don't know how to make it bigger.
Also when I input a command (e.g. :q) character that I didn't input comes up
like :<-[1 q when I do :q
Thank you in advance
Based on the screenshot (and missing menus), it looks like you're using Vim in the Windows console (cmd.exe), which cannot be maximized in the usual way. You have the following options:
Use GVIM; it offers more (visual) features, and the biggest disadvantage, more clumsy shell integration, isn't that important on Windows, anyway.
Use the Windows console menu (right mouse button on the top-left icon > Defaults > /Layout\ > Windows Size) to resize it.
Inside Vim, you can influence the size via
:set lines=40 columns=120
and the console will resize accordingly.

In windows 10 home I want to use 2 monitors with 1 or 2 desktops.
As when we use extent 1 monitor has the desktop icons and the other has only the taskbar and we can only drag the things to that screen.
Is that possible that I can give the whole access to both of the monitors?
Quick Answer - No.
You cannot (as of right now) run two virtual desktops on two screens.
But, with a quick Google search I have found some 3rd party solutions that can virtualize this feature.
Other than that - you can Right click on the Taskbar and enter to Taskbar Settings - there you can find a few other Settings (for both the taskbar and the icons) that might help you achieve something close to you original request.

I have a Virtual Machine Windows 7 (using VMWare) with opened Sublime Text 2.
Cleartype for the OS is enabled, but i don't see it's effect inside my text editor:
How can I fix that?
For some reason, not every font size in Sublime is rendered properly by ClearType, at least for some fonts, and this also varies depending on which version of Windows you're using. I've found through trial and error that either using Ctrl+/Ctrl- to increase/decrease the font size can help, as can altering the "font_size" option in Preferences -> Settings - User by increments of 0.5.
If nothing seems to work, try using different fonts - some may simply not look as good using Sublime's rendering engine.

How can I open a program always in 600x400? When I restart the computer I don't wanna configure again, how can I do this?
Observation: My resolution is 1920x1080 and I wanna open the program in 600x400 without change my resolution.
Sorry for my english, I don't speak very well this language.
It depends on the program you want to open.
Some programs have a specific setting for this case.
Take a look on the documentation, or you can try to go to Regedit and look for the Key of program that you want to start with 600x400.
In the Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\(CompanyName)\(SoftwareName)
Normally there is some settings about size of the window.
Good luck.
To change your display resolution from the command line - try the free nircmd.exe from http://www.nirsoft.net/

I would have expected this to be a very simple task: switching between windows of the same application, but I can't seem to find the shortcut to do it. I generally have several windows of applications like Chrome (each window holding all the tabs related to a particular topic).
The behaviour I am looking for is what is implemented in Mac OSX with the Cmd+~ keyboard shortcut.
Is there a way to achieve the same on Windows 7?
There is no such a keyboard shortcut but holding Ctrl + clicking on the icon in the taskbar repeatedly will cycle through that program's open windows.
See https://superuser.com/questions/435602/shortcut-in-windows-7-to-switch-between-same-applications-windows-like-cmd.
Scott's answer is the closest one I've found to doing this. To summarize what he said:
Win + n where n is the number position of the application in the TaskBar.
Then to cycle through, keep Win down and press n again.
(Updated thanks to #ZYinMD's comments - but also see their 1st comment)
Use AltEsc for fast switching without any GUI pop up
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/12445/windows-keyboard-shortcuts
Maybe related: If you want that the windows open directly when click on the stacked taskbar symbol (instead of opening the list), you can add the DWORD "LastActiveClick" to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
and set it to 1.

Is there a way to move window with a mouse after clicking on window (any zone) holding some key like command / control / alt in MacOS X Lion?
So the process is like:
you click on a window while holding command
do not leave the mouse button, move mouse
with mouse selected window is moving
I had this option in Linux and that was very useful.
Thanks.
Coming from someone who also got very used to this functionality under Linux, I also spent some time looking for a tool to do this after getting a Mac. I don't believe that this is possible out of the box.
I use a product named Hyperdock (9.95 USD) to facilitate this. In addition to some other functionality that I don't use (window previews, iTunes extensions, etc), it includes options for moving and resizing windows with left mouse button + hotkey. It's not free, but it's the only tool I've been able to find that provides this functionality.
